sociologically
In group terms
From the perspective of sociology—the study of human societies and social behavior.
Sociologically, a phenomenon is examined in terms of group dynamics, institutions, and cultural patterns rather than individual psychology: Sociologically speaking, the decline in church attendance reflects broader shifts in community structure.
The word signals that analysis focuses on collective rather than personal factors.
